According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Finance on Monday, 6th July 2026, the payment was completed on Thursday, 2nd July 2026. This timely settlement underscores the government’s commitment to prudent debt management and demonstrates its ability to meet international financial obligations without straining the nation’s foreign exchange reserves.
The settlement comprised US174.8 million in interest payments. This latest transaction brings the total amount paid to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to US$2.1 billion, in line with the terms of the Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme. The Ministry highlighted that the payment was executed through carefully planned financing arrangements, avoiding undue pressure on the country’s reserves.
This achievement is expected to further strengthen Ghana’s standing in the international financial community. By reducing its outstanding Eurobond debt, the government is signaling fiscal discipline and reliability to investors. Analysts view such proactive debt servicing as a positive step toward restoring market confidence following previous economic challenges.
The Ministry of Finance reaffirmed its dedication to implementing sound public financial management practices to ensure the timely servicing of all debt obligations. In the press release, officials expressed gratitude to the people of Ghana for their continued patience, support, and confidence in the government’s economic policies.
This development marks another milestone in Ghana’s ongoing efforts to stabilize its economy and manage its debt portfolio effectively. As the country continues on its path of recovery and growth, such successful debt settlements are likely to attract further investment and support long-term economic resilience.
